Helpful Score: 1

I was so engrossed by this book that I stayed up until 3am to finish it and had to drag myself to work that morning. It is a well-written, but trying story of a small cul-de-sac of families who are all damaged by a troubled family and its fetid tentacles. No one escapes this book unscathed, and some don't escape at all. "Broken" had an interesting dichotomy for me as I couldn't put it down, but the story weighed heavy on my heart. I stayed up late the last night because I was obsessed with the story, but also wasn't sure I could take another night entrenched in such a sad story. If you can handle it, you'll love it.
